Author has written 7 stories for Pirates of the Caribbean, Brave, 2012, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Choices, and How to Train Your Dragon.

Fast facts: American, Gryffindoor/Slytherin, primary fandoms: oh who am I kidding. I jump around a lot. I write fic for fun, and enjoy having more than one WIP on the go. I love rarepairs.

Works In Progress

I am currently only updating Kith & Kin, and my fics for Choices (Drake x Olivia) on a regular basis. All others will be updated sporadically... sorry, but that's how it goes right now.

UPDATES SPORADICALLY:

A Dark Reckoning: AU. Voldemort has won the war, and Dumbledore's Army has scattered to the winds. Fifteen months later, Ginny finds herself in Ireland, trapped between a Muggle conflict and fulfilling a life debt to Thorfinn Rowle, the one man she thought she'd never see again. After setting out on a suicide mission against all advice, she is sentenced to death. At the last hour, she agrees to a marriage to Thorfinn, and then she runs. And Thorfinn knows he will have to move heaven and earth to save her -- before the killer in the ranks of the DA gets to her first. This fic is very violent and deals with a lot of dark topics, it's rated M for a reason! Fancast: Chris Hemsworth as Thorfinn Rowle, and Holland Roden as Ginny. UPDATES SPORADICALLY

Stop Gap - (Hunger Games) a canon-divergent AU with dark fairytale/fantasy elements. Gale/Delly, Gale/Madge, Katniss/Peeta. This one is a three parter: The Red Shoes, June & Everything After, and Here is Gone. Goes from T in the first part to M in the second and third. Fancast: Amanda Seyfried as Delly. UPDATES SPORADICALLY

The West Wind, a Hunger Games historical AU set during the Black Hills Gold Rush of 1876. Panem, the "wickedest town in the West", is slightly based on the real Deadwood (not the show, sorry) and other ghost towns. I toyed with setting it in the Klondike gold rush as well, but 1876 just made more sense. The West Wind is very heavily UnderThorne (Madge/Gale), but other pairings will appear as well(for example, Gale & Madge are also paired with others} THIS FIC IS ON HIATUS AND WILL BE UPDATED SPORADICALLY. I'm sorry if you are waiting for constant updates... let this be a warning to other authors about the perils of not outlining. Basically I've written myself into a corner. I DO intend to finish one day, but it is currently on the back burner.

Kith and Kin (How to Train Your Dragon/Brave(2012) AU fusion.) This is not a RotBTD fic. It is an Alternate Universe Fusion - fusing the universes together as though they are the same, and borrowing elements from real life history as well since both universes are historical fantasy. The events are set vaguely in the 8th century CE. The title of Act I, "Kith and Kin", means ancestral lands and tribe. In early medieval Skotland (or Alba, as it was known then), Picts lived in small tribes made up of famililes belonging to a single clan, presided over by a high chieftain. These clans were known as "kin"; whereas in the Nordic countries, your tribe was known as your "kindred".

This series meant to become very dark as it progresses through its three acts: "Kith & Kin", "Rune", and "Wyrd". Kith & Kin is set in Dun Broch, Rune in Berk, and Wyrd returns the characters to Dun Broch.

Mostly it focuses on Merida & Ruffnut in Act 1. There will be quite a bit of romance to look forward to, featuring fusion pairings. THIS FIC IS UPDATED SPORADICALLY.

Coming Soon:

Time of Wonder : A tale of love, fate and redemption set in 1860 Pennsylvania against the backdrop of the cotton mills. Rated M.

On Hiatus:

The West Wind (see above)

Parley (found on ao3, coming soon here)

* What if Mary had trusted Matthew with her secret and immediately accepted his first proposal? An alternate universe starting from episode 1x06, interwoven with canon, that spans from 1914 - 1971. [M for depictions of intimacy, wartime violence, racial slurs, character death (but Matthew/Mary and Sybil/Tom end happily!)] [STEAMM]

AU Fusion with HTTYD (act I) In which Merida becomes an unwitting pawn in the greatest game; meets a dragon, a valkyrie and a marked man; uncovers enemies she didn't she know she had, and speaks a lot of dialect. This is the lighter beginning to what will prove to be a very bloodsoaked business indeed. But no one ever said a royal coup would be easy.

Formerly called "Maybe It Was the Roses". Written in 2004, this is a series of loosely linear vignettes in a dark AU world set after the first movie.
